Configuring the Software

To get the most out of your new PMCS system, follow the directions below to

configure your system.

Organize Your Information

Host PC

You need the following information to properly configure the PMCS software for the

Host PC. This information is used throughout the configuration process and you

should archive it for any future maintenance of your system.

For RS485 PMCS network interfaces, you need to list all devices in the power-

management network (including Modbus Concentrators) with associated device

types, Modbus RTU addresses, and COM ports. Assign names of less than 20

characters (no spaces) to these devices.

For example, in a simple system with four devices (and one Modbus Concentrator),

you may have a table similar to the following.

COM port Modbus RTU Address Device Type Device (Topic) Name

1 2 MODCONC MCI

1 12 E3720 Main_Meter

1 33 PLEPM Mfg_Meter

1 61 MVT Mfg_Breaker

2 210 ML269 Mill_Relay

For an Ethernet PMCS network interface (Ethernet Gateway), you must list all

devices in the power-management network, including the device types and Modbus

RTU addresses. You need to know the appropriate Ethernet Gateway IP address and

COM port (1–4) to which each device is connected. Assign names of less than 20

characters (no spaces) to these devices.

For example, in a simple system with 10 devices, you may have a table similar to the

following (this system uses one Ethernet Gateway and three Modbus Concentrators).

1 2 ... 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 ... 68 69
